Marvelous movie. The British actors were sort of unknowns, it felt real to me and very scary.
I wondered why the crowd didn't simply shed clothing and firehoses used on them,,that would be better than nothing.

Like hundreds of other exchange students living in Hamburg, Germany in the 1990s, Muhammad Atta, Ziad Jarrah and Marwan al-Shehhi were quiet, orderly tenants who never drew attention to themselves. But on September 11, 2001, they became part of the worst attack ever waged on U.S. soil. This daring drama sheds light on these young Islamic men who were transformed into Al Qaeda killers while in Hamburg--and who would eventually enact the diabolical plan that destroyed the Twin Towers. This semi-fictionalized dramatic account stars Karim Saleh, Kamel, Agni Tsangaridou and Omar Berdouni. Directed by Antonia Bird; written by Ronan Bennett and Alice Pearman.

"Marvelous movie. The British actors were sort of unknowns, it felt real to me and very scary."
I commented to my husband that the acting was quite good. I was surprised.
I found it scary too. Especially the prep time before the bomb went off.
